Wonderful! Again with the good ideas Erin! And when I saw that you put salsa in with the beans, I thought, “sneaky sneaky mama!” Sometimes the things you do with food just make me smack my forehead and say, “duh! why didn’t I think of that before?”

Where do I get whole wheat tortillas so cheap. That is 10 cents each and I have see them in packages of 10 for more like $4 a package. That is one place I have not been able to go white flour free. I have a family of 6 with a hungry 17 year old boy. I am constantly balancing quality (better food but less) vs. quanity. The amount of tortillas we go through, I just can’t keep up with the whole wheat kind. Any suggestions?

I don’t know if you live near a 99 cent only stores— a chain here in the West— I get my W/W tortillas there– made by the same company that makes them for the grocery chains, but different packaging and a little smaller.

I live in California and can get the flour torilla shells at the 99 cent store for 99 cents, but also if you check your local stores and get off brands you can usually get flour or corn torillas alot cheaper than $4.00. I usually pay under $2.00 for more torillas than I can eat. I keep them in the fridge till I use them to keep them from spoiling. I have used refried beans and cheese with torilla shells the same way as above. I also put shredded or regular cheese sandwiched between to flour torillas and microwave it till the cheese melts for a quesadia. Also great treat. But I want to try this one.

Haha, I dont have kids, but I get such a kick out of reading these posts. The *snicker* *snicker* part totally had me giggling. I love passing these on to my sister who has a 7 year old boy who eats surprisingly well. Thanks for the awesome reading & recipes, Erin, you rock!

For cheap tortillas (and bread for that matter) look into outlet bread stores. I have both Hostess and Oroweat outlet stores relatively close to home and I don’t live in a huge city. I can pick up 30 count packages of tortillas for less than $1 in all kinds. Just an idea!
